Whether you work from home like I do or in an office, there’s something to be said about having a clutter-free desk. Not only does a tidy desk look better but taking the time to organize your desk can also help you focus on the task at hand since you won’t be as distracted.
Although I personally went paperless years ago, I still find that writing things down by hand can be useful when putting together to-do lists or even when brainstorming. I mainly use Google Keep to store longer notes or key information so that I can refer back to it later but I’ve also started messaging myself in Slack when I come across a good story online or come up with a clever idea.
